Success Talks

Success Talks is an organisation that holds interviews with successful individuals from across the world with a focus on digital media and mobile phone applications. The majority of the content, which promote key messages that challenge current stereotypes about success, can be found on the organisation's YouTube channel, which was started in December 2012. Other interviews can also be found on its Facebook page and mobile phone app. Its channel has gained thousands of views as well as a following on Facebook and Twitter.

Success Talks has been quoted in publications such as the Financial Times. In recent years, Success Talks have diversified into creating events and have worked with organizations such as PwC, Linklaters, Credit Suisse, Pearson and Teach First.

History
The concept for Success Talks arose when founder Dennis Owusu-Sem was having a conversation with a colleague about successful black individuals who were not in the fields of music, sport or entertainment. From this, he decided to find as many people as he could interview to answer this and many other questions around success.
